Perry'S Cider

We're a free thinking craft cider company that doesn't like being constrained. In fact we only like making craft ciders as naturally and as simply as possible - using the very best fresh apples, small batch techniques, wild yeasts and 100% juice.

We've been making award winning craft ciders since 1920 when William Churchill acquired the family farm and started making cider as a side line to his blacksmiths business. The company was later taken over by Henry and Bert Perry, his nephews, who pushed the company forward and continued to experiment with craft ciders.

Many of the techniques and our current ethos came from these experimentations. In fact, we still ferment our ciders in exactly the same way and each year continue to use the two hydraulic presses installed by them in the 50's. These presses have squeezed over 7 million pints of cider each.

The company passed onto Henry's wife Marguerite and two sons John and Andrew after Henry's and Bert's deaths.

Fast forward to today and the company is still run by the Perry family with George, John's son taking over the day-to-day running of the company and cider production. John and Marguerite are still very actively involved in the company and cider industry as a whole, with John over seeing the company. John is also the current chairman of SWECA (the South West of England Cider Makers Association).
